John Williams will score Indiana Jones 5, and might work on the next Star Wars, too

Five-time Academy Award winner John Williams isn’t slowing down any time soon, if recent news about his upcoming projects is any indication.

During an event where Williams was honored by the American Film Institute, the composer confirmed that he’d very much like to score the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VIII after doing the same for last year’s Oscar-nominated Episode VII: The Force Awakens. As if that wasn’t enough to keep him busy, it was also confirmed that he’d compose the score for the next, still-untitled Indiana Jones movie.

“If I can do it, I certainly will,” Williams said to Variety of his desire to compose the score for director Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII. “I told [franchise producer] Kathy Kennedy I’m happy to do it, but the real reason is, I didn’t want anybody else writing music for Daisy Ridley.”

During the same American Film Institute event, Indiana Jones franchise director Steve Spielberg — a three-time Oscar winner himself — confirmed to Access Hollywood that Williams will score the next installment of that franchise, too.
